Stop Calling Me!

A robo-call to me is a guaranteed vote against whoever the caller is promoting.

Absolutely not. The only people who would be fooled long enough to listen probably won't vote any way. They are e rude invasion into the homes of hard working Americans! Stop it!!

A robo-call to me is a guaranteed vote against whoever the caller is promoting.

As quickly as I can hang the phone up, I do. They are an invasion of our privacy and will no doubt reinforce call screening on a machine. If a live person cannot call, I will not listen. You can tell they are robo calls immediately and the only people to be fooled by them probably won't vote anyway.

At this point in the election I have gotten to the point of saturation and disgust that I have to change the TV channel when McCain or Palin are on. I can no longer stomach seeing and hearing them repeat the same discredited lies and misinformation they've been spewing for weeks and months now. The divisive and dishonest theme of the GOP's entire approach to the campaign has become for many the biggest reason to vote Democratic. This said, I would only listen to a robocall just long enough to discern who's calling (2-3 seconds) and then hang up. The only effect the call would have on me is to resent those behind it.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH JOHN... SARAH!!!

I can't believe anyone would stay on the line to listen to such garbage. But then, I must confess I've been listening to plenty of the same on news programing--such gems as Obama's infomercial delayed the world series game (false), Obama favors big oil and McCain doesn't (diametrically opposite), Obama's tied to q former PLO spokesperson Professor Rashid Khalidi (he didn't speak for the PLO, Obama hardly knows him, and McCain oversaw the donation of well over a half million dollars to his organization), Obama's tax plan will hurt small businesses and the middle class (again, false--check any independent source on tax policy for a fair evaluation of the respective tax plans). The good news--most folks aren't buying the lies.

4 carol. What does you comment have to do with robo calls? Or do you just vent everywhere you can like a robo call? How ironic!

All of the robo calls I have gotten have been from the Republicans, McCain/Palin, and the Republican Congressional incumbent candidate. Every one has been full of lies, distortions, and fear and smear inuendos. I will not vote for people that spread such lies and fabrications. This is why I did not vote for a single Republican since these calls do not reflect the character and values that I consider worthy of respect.

Not only are these calls not effective but as someone on the DO NOT CALL list for telemarketers, I find it irksome that the do not call list obviously does not apply to politicians.

Not only do these calls not work, but as someone on the DO NOT CALL LIST, I am irked that politicians are not held to the same standards as other sales people. After all, they are trying to "sell" themselves...

Yah yah yah this candidate is whoreable this candidate is a liar blah blah blah the levels people stoop to root for their "team" is embarrassing and disgusting. The way people treat each other over an election is sad. I feel bad for you people I really do. Look outside and get a life. Your lives will change very little no matter who the president is I assure you.

Of course these things don't work! Nobody sits on the phone and listens to the taped garbage on these taped messages.

Listen, short of nominating the Supreme Court Justices the president has little sway over individuals lives. The party differences aren't that great anyways. Congress creates and enacts laws and has the power to go around him anyways. Alan Greenspan even admitted that this whole "credit crunch" fiasco was his fault (as well as the dot com bust of 2000) .As far as the worst presidency of all time, Congress' approval level is about half of that of the presidents. Anways, vote Obama vote McCain, or don't vote at all you will see very little diffenence in your personal life. I can't wait until this election is over people are so rude to each other just because they like different teams. It's almost as bad as Raiders vs. Chargers.....

There's only one word for them "DISGUSTING".

"But research indicates that whether they're listened to or not, robo-calls have no effect on voting habits."

That's just one more reason why the dumb bunnies running McCain's campaign have put him in a losing position. Maybe--just maybe--if John McCain had spent more time telling us positive things about himself and less time trying to tear down Obama, ol' John might be in a better position now.

corn is just another invented issue.
All the group does is register new voters . They pay people 8 bucks a hour a help people
fill out registration forms and then turn them in. By law they are required to turn in ballots people fill out that dont seem credible. But they seperate them from the normal ballots and inform election officials when they turn them in. As a example If somone fills out a ballot that says donald duck they still have to turn that ballot in , but since there really is no donald duck and no one to show up and vote with a id that matches that registration on election day . It will have zero effect on anything and all this is is a waste time
Also all ballots acorn marks as fishy are also investigated and checked against state records to make sure they are real people if not they are thrown out.
Its has no effect because no one can vote without proper ID
So unless the gop thinks there are imaginary people to go along with with throw away ballots then
lets move on to something that matters like the fact we are going in to the next great depression,
and that mccain says he doesnt understand the economy
How about we talk about the war, the national debt <11 trillion>, The housing market, the job market,health care,global warming.
Are things so great we need to invent issues like acorn ?
or is it the gop has no answers to the mess they have created in the last 8 years?
Let talk about things that will improve our lifes and not something no one cares about.
And lets throw out the poeple that created this mess
they dont deserve a chance to make things worse

Please vote early election day will be a mess

I am deeply offended by the tone of the robo calls and since I live in Arizona I am surprised to be receiving them. One such call was so vicious that I am now voting for Obama. I don't think he is a socialist a terrorist or a wanto-tobe-dictator as one of the call suggests. This vile stuff totally turned me off.
